Hello Tom,

it saves a lot of CPU time if GRUB and QEMU are not built for every
single push to the U-Boot git. It should be sufficient to build them
once per release cycle or on demand.

So GRUB should be built in the Dockerfile.

I would currently use GRUB 2.04 as reference release.

Best regards

Heinrich
